KDA main spindle drive is a motorized device designed to drive the spindle of machine tools and provide accurate power and speed, while also ensuring precise machining.  Generally, KDA units find application in industries that require high-speed and high-precision drilling, milling, and cutting operations, such as automotive, aerospace, and medical equipment manufacturing. In the context of servos, the KDA main spindle drive integrates seamlessly with 1MB frameless spindle motors and 2AD asynchronous motors, ensuring precise torque and speed control, rapid acceleration/deceleration, and accurate position feedback.

Features such as high stiffness and extensive speed range with continuous power make KDA units particularly well-suited for use as spindle drives, including spindle positioning and C-axis operation, in numerically controlled machine tools. However, several operational issues may exist with KDA drives:

• Inconsistent Speed Control: Improper calibration or synchronization with frameless spindle motors and asynchronous motors can result in inconsistent or unstable speed control and variations in machining accuracy and quality.
• Overheating: Inadequate cooling or ventilation can lead to reduced performance, thermal shutdowns, or even damage to internal components such as coils, windings, or insulation.
• Control System Failure: Communication errors, loss of control, motor stalling, or intermittent operation can arise due to improper synchronization of KDA spindle drives with the corresponding motors.
• Electrical Damage: can occur due to power surges, voltage spikes, or incorrect wiring, resulting in blown fuses, damaged circuit boards, or burnt-out components.

Experiencing these problems already and not sure who to call? Wake Industrial is here to help.

To begin the Rexroth Indramat KDA servo drive repair process, we’ll provide you with a repair card for merchandise return/fault protocol. You’ll be required to fill out diagnostic information such as fault status, failure cause (if known), and other relevant details.

After receiving the repair card and the defective KDA unit, our experts will take a systematic approach to fix the problem. First, initial assessment, then diagnostic testing, component-level assessment, component repair or replacement, and calibration & configuration. Finally, functional testing is carried out to ensure that the repaired main spindle drive meets quality standards and is ready for safe and reliable operation.
